CBB 'fix row' as Chris lets slip about Katy Perry space mission - despite being in the house

fans have been left baffled after revealed to his fellow housemates that flew to space - despite being in the house when it happened. On April 14, pop star Katy, 40, left Earth on an all-female space mission with Blue Origin - owned by Jeff Bezos.

The singer was joined by Bezos's fiancée Lauren Sánchez and CBS presenter Gayle King, who said a highlight of the flight was hearing Katy sing Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World".

Following the space mission, Katy has been endlessly trolled on social media for having wasted millions of dollars on the 'pointless' space mission. While Katy flew off to space, former star Chris, 32, was living his life in the house.

Speaking about Katy's space mission with his fellow housemates on Thursday's instalment of the show, Chris let slip that he knew the date that the Teenage Dream singer had rocketed to space.

While the rest of his housemates, including Drag Race star Danny Beard appeared to have been clueless about the space mission, Chris seemed to know all the details - which left some fans completely confused.

Taking to X, they shared their theories. "OMG how does Chris know that Katy Perry went to space. He was in the house and they have no contact with the outside ? HUH." Another echoed: "Okaaaay so how does Chris know about Katy Perry f**king off to space? Someone enlighten me."

"I wonder why none of the other housemates know about and Blue Origin and Chris does," someone else questioned. However, another eagle-eyed viewer pointed out that the celebrities would have known about the space mission months in advance from when it was first revealed - and through Katy's promotion of it on her social media.

"Of course he knew about it. Every single person on the planet knew about it. Just because he's in the house doesn't mean he hasn't been watching the news or been on social media since literally the beginning of the year. Calm down people and use your brains," the viewer quipped.

It comes after Katy said he felt 'deeply connected to love' after her space mission. After landing back on Earth, she said she felt "super connected to life" and "so connected to love".

The flight lasted around 11 minutes and took the six women more than 100km (62 miles) above Earth, crossing the internationally recognised boundary of space and giving them a few moments of weightlessness.

Also on board were former Nasa rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, and film producer Kerianne Flynn. The New Shepard rocket lifted off from its West Texas launch site just after 08:30 local time (14:30 BST).

The capsule returned to Earth with a parachute-assisted soft landing, while the rocket booster also landed back in Texas. Katy departed the capsule and kissed the ground before lifting a daisy to the sky in honour of her daughter is called Daisy.
